ARCHIVED ARTICULATION GUIDE

Additional information:
1. In completing the coordinated program of study for this articulation agreement, course substitutions may be
made with the guidance of the advisors (indicated below) at both institutions to assure that all requirements
are satisfied. Courses indicated with an * are required for EMU’s Program.
2. Students whose transcripts are endorsed as “MACRAO Satisfied” will only be required to meet EMU’s three
general education requirements, noted on the articulation guide and listed below. These requirements may be
completed at the most appropriate time for the student whether before or after admission to EMU:
a) An approved course in Quantitative Reasoning: [MTH 176 or MTH 191 at WCC]
b) An approved course in Global Awareness or US Diversity: [Humanities: ART 143, 150; COM 225; DAN 180; ENG 181,
213, 214, 224, 242, 281; HUM 145, 150, 175; MUS 180; Social Science: ANT 201; ECO 280; GEO 101; HST 123, 150, 230, 235, 240,
270; PLS 211; PSY 107; SOC 205; Science: ENV 101 at WCC]
c) An approved Learning beyond the Classroom course or experience offered by EMU: [See EMU advisor]
To use MACRAO, students must request that an official community college transcript, with the “MACRAO Satisfied”
stamp, be sent to EMU’s Admissions Office. Students, who do not have “MACRAO Satisfied” on their community
college transcript, will be required to satisfy EMU’s general education requirements as listed in the Undergraduate
Catalog. The MACRAO stamp may be completed after admission to EMU, however, students should inform advisors at
EMU that they intend to complete MACRAO, or they may be advised to complete additional courses for the general
education program.
3. Only courses with a grade of “C” or better (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) will be accepted for transfer to EMU. A course
completed with a grade of less than 2.0, will not transfer to EMU even though it may be used to satisfy the
MACRAO agreement.
4. Under this agreement, EMU will waive the 60-hour rule and require that a minimum of 46 credit hours must
be completed at the four-year college level, of which 30 hours must be in courses offered by EMU, with 15
hours in program requirements, at the 300-level or above. Of the last 30 hours completed before graduating,
at least 10 hours must be in courses offered by EMU. A minimum of 124 credit hours, completed inresidence or accepted in transfer, is required for graduation.
5. A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 is required for admission to EMU. Students must meet all admission
requirements at the time of application for admission to EMU, including submitting transcripts from all
previously attended colleges. WCC students will receive equal consideration with other students for course
registration and financial aid.
6. Students are encouraged to contact the Computer Science Program Coordinator early, before applying to
EMU. To facilitate the evaluation of transcripts, students should indicate they are using this articulation
agreement when applying to EMU and bring a copy of this guide to all advising sessions. Copies of the
articulation guide are available on EMU’s webpage at www.emich.edu/ccr/artguide.php
Effective Dates: January 1, 2013 until January 1, 2016.
This is a renewal of an agreement made in September 2009. Students who began this program prior to the new
effective date have the option of changing to this guide. If this agreement is not renewed at the end of the
effective period, students who already began the program at Washtenaw Community College will have an
additional three years to be admitted to EMU under the terms of the agreement.
